...a tribute
Rainbow
Bridge
Just
this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies
that has been especially close to someone
here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for
all of our special friends so they can run and
play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine and our friends
are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are
restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made
whole
and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times
gone by. The animals are happy and
content, except for one small thing: they each miss someone very special,
someone who was left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day
comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes
are
intent; his eager body begins to quiver. Suddenly, he breaks from the group,
flying over the green grass, faster and
faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet,
you cling together in joyous reunion,
never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands
again caress the beloved head, and you
look once more into those trusting eyes, so long gone from your life, but
never absent from your heart.
Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together...
